THE TIME THAT REMAINS

The floor of a farewell room becomes the dial of a clock, four armchairs are positioned at 12;3;6;9.
The floor of a farewell room becomes the dial of a clock, four armchairs are positioned at 12;3;6;9. Without references to religious symbolism and leaving the dimension of mourning and affection private, the concept of "time" becomes central in the reflection on death: death as the expiration of the time granted to us, the room as a place in which to spend the last time together with the deceased. Central are the hands to which the benches turn in contemplation, occupying the space intended for the body. The work symbolizes the inexorable passage of time of those who remain; the hands, frozen in the photographic shot, still like the expired time of someone who is no longer there. In the still and bare room, the memory remains, which by ignoring the speed of the hands is capable of waiting, prolonging or accelerating, passing back and forth or remaining suspended.
